I knew this would happen

I thought Mitch McConnell allowed the vote because he fixed it so it wouldn’t pass. Maybe this is just Rand being the libertarian asshole he is, but I wonder if it was all a setup:

RAND PAUL blocks compensation for 9/11 victims fund: “Any new spending … should be offset by cutting spending that is less valuable.”

So let me get this straight: @RandPaul has no problem voting for billions in tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, but votes against providing health care for 9/11 first responders because he's worried about the debt.

Not blocking the 9/11 bill – simply asking for a vote on an amendment to offset the cost.

Sure, Jan!

Rand Paul is a waste of good oxygen.
